  Corey Neilson says he is thrilled with the roster he has put together as Nottingham Panthers adopt a quality over quantity approach this season.The Panthers coach had deliberately signed 12 of the allowed 13 imports before defenceman Theo Peckham backed out his move this week.That is because he backs his Brits to bolster a team which will deploy four lines.Peckham is unlikely to be replaced in time for the final warm-up games, away to Manchester Storm tomorrow night (6.30pm) and at home to...

  Nottingham had a flavour of World Cup fever as an impressive Tonga side brought their preparations to Lady Bay, showing their credentials with a 69-14 victory over the Green and Whites in front of a record 2,500 crowd.Martin Haag's Championship outfit may have been outdone by the pace, power and class of the side who will join the likes of New Zealand and Argentina in Pool C of next month's competition, but they certainly played their part in an entertaining encounter.It was a great occasion and

  At around 6pm on Tuesday evening, a sense of normality will finally return for Dougie Freedman. At least, as much as it ever can for a football manager.If you are in the West Bridgford area, listen out. You might just hear the sigh of relief from the confines of his office.The Nottingham Forest boss's summer has already been a testing one, as he looked to work within the strict confines of a Financial Fair Play transfer embargo.But, while that has limited his options when it comes to bringing...

  In the end, it came down to the final penalty... err, arrow, rather.This was a shoot-out with a difference.Nottingham Forest duo Eric Lichaj and Dimitar Evtimov were aiming at a very different kind of target. One ten metres away, with a bullseye barely bigger than an orange.But the pressure was still on. There was £10 or coffee and some boot-cleaning at stake.And it was all under the critical eye of one of Great Britain's Olympic hopefuls.Archer Patrick Huston, who is on course to make...
